The latest technology and the expected arrival of 5G have created opportunities for Taiwan’s performing arts community.
According to the Telecom Technology Center, 5G offers viewers the sense of being at a live performance because of its super connection speeds and higher broadband width. 5G will also make live-streaming possible without the installment of fixed fiber optics.
Virtual concerts are a great way for music lovers to enjoy first-class performances. It is expected that the business model of broadcasting live audio streams of concerts will be rolled out in Taiwan either later this year or next year because live-streaming concerts without a video feed is relatively easy.
Still, there are challenges for the performing arts community when it comes to going digital. These include getting the budget, the facilities, and a professional team, not to mention the installation of 5G base stations.
Going digital requires cooperation between the government, the private sector, and the performing arts community.
